Path of Exile

Where do people normally get builds? I've always been pretty lazy. I had to give up on my cyclone build for reasons not related to the game. The official forums are the only ones I've used and it seems like a lot of them are just the same builds over and over and get updated each league.

What type of build do you want to play? I usually start with that in google if I have no idea how to make it work.

I guess I'm going to do he ED/Contagion again. I couldn't play cyclone cause I had issues keeping the cyclone key down all the time, not game related. Just grabbed one from reddit. Didn't realise they had sub just for builds. Just Ziz league starter build. He had a video on it but I never watch his stream or videos so saw it linked on reddit.

Yeah I got the cyclone build by using google. Seemed like an OK build that was done on the forums.

Have you tried switching cyclone to a keyboard button press?

I find the best thing to do is go to poe.ninja and look under the current league (i use the hardcore league normally as i like to not die). Find your skill, see what gear and gem setups people are rolling with in the top end of the game.

It's much better as if you have problems or dont like a particular aspect of your build you can find someone else with a slightly different setup (especially for defenses), roll with that and see how it feels.

Plus their trees are often better optimised than the board builds and also the world and his wife aren't reading it and following it step by step so it opens up a choice of gear.

I'd say it's a stepping stone in between following an ABC board guide and creating your own. It's really good if you have a basic understanding of what does what in the game. But it requires a bit of thought so it's not 100% lazy but you'll get much better results than 90% of the boards builds.

Inpulsa mob splode will work with Kitava feast equipped? Prob jump in after another patch.

I only did low lvl ones and seems like a lot of them were in hallways and such. Blah. Just moved on. I'm sure in mapping you get them in the open a lot.

lmao that VIN video is wild.

I'm pretty bored of my bladestorm gladiator so im rolling a flicker strike slayer to try it out, i might end up doing a ice nova build that people are running as well though, both look pretty neat!

yeah fuck it im gonna make an ice nova assassin. Kinda dumb to have a gladiator and a slayer in the same season lol

Mainly just a few on poebuilds.cc and a few random youtube videos to gauge differences

Started up a cyclone slayer cause may as well. Pretty fun so far, really smooth to play with the channeling. I’m going to assume that the Tabula + random levelling uniques are giving me a false sense of power. The extra mob health is unnoticeable now, it’s cutting rares down like its pre patch.

Holy flame totems are great but the playstyle isn't very good for me personally. It's not very smooth and they are not that good for the legion content (even with the extra fire stream enchantment). It just makes it arkward when you need to get rid of the harder mobs first when they pop after the initial encounter. That aside they are pretty good for bossing and I could definately see an easy shaper kill down the road with them. Just this league mechanics a bit weird to use them.

Think i'm gonna have to either reroll this cheiftan or roll a melee over the next few days and grab it while it's hot.

I dont' want to roll cyclone as i've played it before, what's the other flavours of the month?
